Spencer, Ia. – Gov. Rick Perry today made a stop that wasn’t on his official schedule to grab coffee and where he had a riveting conversation about wild boars, his time in the military and Texas drought.

The stop was at Sisters Mainstreet Café. About 40 customers were in the restaurant.

Perry pulled up a chair to a table with 10 retirement-aged residents. He spoke with them for about 15 minutes.

Wild boars have become problematic in urban areas, he said to the group at one point in the conversation.

Politics did not come up and he left without asking them to caucus for him.

“He’s just like someone who would come in here every morning and have coffee with us,” said resident Monte Johnson.

Perry is now speaking at La Chiesa Restaurant in Spencer. He will makes stops in Algona, Clear Lake, and Mason City today.
